Happens when idling or driving. After 5-10 minutes, the engine loses all power, stepping on gas pedal does nothing. Engine dies. Restarts like nothing in wrong in 10 to 60 seconds and runs great for another 10 minutes.
74 1.8 L-Jet. Bosch 2 port updated fuel pump. Just getting it back on the road after being under a cover for 3 years. It had old gas, which I drained and replaced. New fuel filter after new fuel. The fuel pump was replaced 4 years ago, but only about 1000 miles on it. Old gas was, however pumped through it. I just replaced the fuel filter again, thinking it might be clogging up from the lines being rinsed with the new gas, but it made no difference. Ideas Please??

I'm no expert, but the symptoms def sound like a fuel delivery issue. Blockage/dirt/restrictions prevent the free-flow of fuel...but if you let it sit for a few seconds, enough seeps by to start. The restriction sounds like it's partial...allowing enough fuel to idle, but when you step on the gas and the engine calls for more fuel, it starves and stalls.
